I think it was not only Jerry's guitar playing but his charisma and personality that people were attracted to. Like Phil said in court, "He was a cool dude". It was the whole chemistry with Jerry and the rest of the band that made it the Grateful Dead. Unfortunately, those days are over...

I’ve used this program before too. But I really don’t like this technique. Rasterbator makes posters with big dots. Now I use this poster creator to print big images. It doesn’t change the input image and print it with high quality.

I agree about Furthur and the other formations just missing the energy and sound quality. Although I thought Jimmy Herring did a great job with "the Dead". I saw some orphium shows and when they did "Time" I said to myself huh? I was confused by the whole thing. The show was solid but I left feeling like I'm just not taking anything home with me. I felt empty handed. They have their moments and I will see them again and if 1 or 2 nuggets come through well then it's worth it. Beats a sharp stick to the eye anyday. Credit to Bob and Phil I hope to have that stamina when I'm in my 60s & 70s
